LENS DESIGN CAPABILITIES

Imaging lens design is our specialty. From custom microscope objectives to telecentric lenses, we have the experience and expertise to design and manufacture high-quality optical systems. Our team has extensive experience with prototyping and production quantities, allowing us to deliver exceptional service throughout the entire lens manufacturing process. Below are a few examples of our lens design capabilities.

Folded Optical System Ray Layout

FOLDED OPTICAL SYSTEMS

Folded optical systems (also called periscopes) allow a lens system with a long optical train to be condensed into a small space. The largest challenge to designing folded systems is ensuring that the correct adjustments are available to achieve the needed alignment when the system is built.

Custom Microscope Objective Ray Layout

CUSTOM MICROSCOPE OBJECTIVES

Microscope objectives are well made, high precision lenses, but sometimes there is not a stock objective available with the needed field of view or numerical aperture. The pictured lens above was designed to image a very wide field of view for forensic documentation.

Inverse Telephoto Camera Lens Cross Section

CUSTOM CAMERA LENSES

With the different types of camera sensors available, it is important to design the lens so that it matches the specific camera chief ray angle. This will minimize the illumination fall off at the edge of the image sensor. 

Spectrometer Lens Optical Layout

SPECTROMETER LENSES

Spectrometer lenses are designed to focus light to better than pixel frequency at 600nm on one end of a line scan camera and 950nm on the other end and every wavelength in between.
